Archive for loyalty

Everyone I speak with has amazing challenges and amazing openings right now. They seem to be coming together. One to polish us and the other to give us incentive to keep up. This mantra, “Keep up,” has a flip side which is, “Be kept up.” It is amazing when you keep up, others are inspired and long to include you. We all long for community. We are tribal beings. We love loving relationships, but we will put up with less than loving relationships. Look at what lonely people watch on TV. Soaps, right? Why? Because they feel part of those people. There’s this study which found that people have no loyalty to certain stations – only to the programs they want. Ha! We could have told them that without a study. Outright loyalty is to what makes us laugh or cry, feel more whole or feel more fortunate. Our loyalty is to learning something we are interested in or think we need. TV is not our true community, nor is YouTube.

Who is your community? How are you serving your community? How is your community serving you? Every day is miraculous. Don’t waste even a moment being vengeful, jealous, mean, catty, hurtful. Instead, go inside that person who may have hurt you and see their pain. Say this prayer for you and for them, “I’m sorry, please forgive me. I love you.” Yes take it on. It isn’t about who is right or wrong. It is about who can wake up fastest and shift the energy. We are energy beings, so as we tell our kids, “Be the big one.” It will remove your anger, etc. Oh, just try it. It can’t hurt you and it could create more ease in your community. Remember, you don’t have to like them, but chose to love them. It is very healing even when not apparent.
